Thanks guys. Appreciate the comments. I do have a set of the trim pieces on my todo list but I ordered the full kick panels and i’m planning on ordering a new dashpad soon so they will have to wait for now.
I need a dye for my kick panels (they are coming in black). Anyone know the best bet for a product, color (it’s a 1982 blue Scottsdale interior) and supplier?

I dye a lot of interior parts for our trucks. USA1 Industries is who I use. They have every one of our colors and they match.

Would the new “black” panels benefit from being shot with primer first, or just shoot with the color ?

Definitely need to throughly clean and then use SEM plastic prep, and the SEM Adhesive Promoter. The Adhesive Promoter is a wet on application. While it’s still wet, you lay a thin coat of color on and let that flash. Then you can start laying more thin coats of color. No need for primer. I’ve done several of the new parts that were black. And also changed colors. The one set I did for someone, he wanted CarmineRed red, but his parts were blue.
And that Saddle trim set. 2 of those pillar trims were new black pieces. The only way you can tell is from the underside of the trim, you can see the black.

Thanks for the tips TKCR. The pieces you did look great. Do you know what year blue that is in your first shot? I was thinking of changing my dash and plastic surfaces to a lighter blue than the 82 and got samples fromUSA1 of their different blues. It’s tough to tell from the small samples how it will look though. I was leaning towards slate blue but the color in your photo looks like it will work.

The first post with the blues, those are al 81-87 Blue. The trim in the next set of photos, that I changed the color to CarmineRed, that’s the 79 blue. Actually the 77-79 is all the same shade of blue, like this. It is lighter than the 81-87 blue.
The Slate Blue is the 73-74, are the last 2 pics.

took a while to respond to youTKCR but thanks for the info. I think the color in the photo below that you posted is what I'm after but I'm not clear on which year it is. If you can let me know, I'll get a can of the spray from USA1 and try it on my kick panels to see and, if it looks good, I'll get the dash from them finished in the same color. I'm trying to match the outside of the truck better than the 82 Blue but stay with a standard C10 color. This seems to be the best option.

Out of curiosity, do you refinish and sell the trim pieces for around the windows to hold up the headliner? I want to put a set in my truck but I hear the reproduction pieces you get from the suppliers are pretty flimsy so I'm looking at a refurbished set of originals instead.
